I'm so sick and tired of hearing unforgiving people say that Jesus permits
divorce. Did Jesus teach that it's ok to file for divorce if your spouse
commits fornication? Not on your life!!! Only an unforgiving, selfish and
woefully ignorant person would teach such a thing! Did not Jesus teach that
we are to forgive 7 times 70? Yes, He most certainly did... “Then came
Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I
forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee,
Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven” (Matthew
18:21,22). Yet, multitudes of unforgiving angry people nowadays are filing
for divorce, including professed Christians, with no consideration of the
Lord's command to forgive.

No one is perfect and; therefore, no one has the right to dishonor the Lord
by breaking their marriage vows by divorcing. In filing for divorce, one is
saying, “You are a bigger sinner than me and I have a right to disown you.”
What if God disowned us when we greatly sinned? Woe unto those who divorce!

So what did Jesus mean? Jesus taught that it's
a sin for a man to divorce his wife and marry another. This is adultery. The
same holds true for a woman who divorces her husband and marries another
man. It is evil. Divorce is a sin. The exception to the rule is when a man's
wife abandons him to run off with another. In such a case of fornication on
the part of the departing spouse, the husband is placed into a
no-win-situation. What is a husband supposed to do if his wife abandons him?
What is a wife supposed to do if her husband runs off with another?

The Christian who's spouse has abandoned them
for someone else (and is remarried) has two options:

Remain celibate

Remarry

This is the only context in which Jesus permits
divorce and remarriage, i.e., if one's spouse mercilessly abandons and runs
off in fornication with someone else. The Bible teaches that it is a
treacherous thing to abandon one's spouse...

“Surely
as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt
treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith the LORD.”
—Jeremiah 3:20

Jesus WASN'T teaching that it's ok for a wife
to divorce her husband because he sins. A woman recently told me that she
divorced her husband because he looked at porno and went with a prostitute.
I seem to recall a story in the Bible about an adulterous woman, caught in
the very act of adultery, and an angry mob wanted to stone her to death. A
lot of self-righteous wives today would fit in well with that angry mob. I'm
not condoning any sin, I'm just saying that EVERYONE sins and what gives
anyone the right to file for divorce? According to James 2:10 we are all
very horrible sinners... “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and
yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.” Think about
that.

If Jesus permits divorce in the case of
fornication, then what about murder, stealing and others sins/crimes? Does a
wife have a right to divorce her husband if he unlawfully kills someone?
What about a spouse who is sentenced to life in prison? Is it ok to divorce
and “move on” as so many people selfishly do nowadays? No, God hates all
divorce!

The Biblical term “putteth away” or “put away”
(Greek: apoluo) means to send away, loose, let go. It is
QUITTING, giving up, throwing away, disowning one's spouse, as you would
toss a piece of trash into the garbage. It means telling your spouse, “I
don't love you anymore.” Those are the cruelest words you'll ever say to
someone. If you don't love your spouse now, it's only because you never did
to begin with. The world's fake “love” is synthetic, shallow and
conditional. God's love is
unconditional.

We are not supposed to throw away our spouse
and give up on them when they sin. We are not to "put away" our spouse.
Jesus taught us to forgive. There is NO forgiveness in divorce—it is cruel,
malicious, selfish, self-righteous, and it's consequences last a lifetime.
God will weigh each situation, knowing every minute detail, and no one will
be able to hide behind their self-righteousness on Judgment Day. The sin of
divorce is rooted in self-righteousness!!!

You know what really bothers me?
Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne have been
married since July 4th, 1982 in Honolulu and are still going strong. Ozzy is
infamous for his Satanism, blasphemy against God and rejection of Jesus
Christ; but at least their marriage has lasted longer than MOST professed
Christian marriages today. Think about that for a moment. If Sharon Osbourne
can remain loyal to her Satanist husband, then why can't Christian wives
remain loyal to their Christian husbands? If Ozzy can hang in there, then
why can't Christian men today? Something is very wrong with America's
churches today.

We are living in an evil and adulterous
generation that persistently searches for excuses to justify their
wickedness. Woe unto the pastors, pastor's wives and so-called "Christian"
workers today who subtly encourage, nurture and promote divorce. It is
wickedness!!!

"Moses
because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives:
but from the beginning it was not so." —Matthew 19:8
